Used to watch RCSparks just for the construction and indoor competitions where they used the forklifts to load the trucks after pulling pallets off racks.

Not my cup of tea to own and play with but fun to watch.

Nice looking JT, looks to be a little bigger wheel than is functional for what I do but clean and simple is nice.

What flares are those? Funny, I work at an off road shop and have not seen those before.

I was speaking on the wheel size, we do quite a bit of winter wheeling that requires airing down to 10 psi or less so none of us run anything larger than a 17". I would run 16"s but tires are getting harder to find for smaller rims. 17 is the new 15.

We built a JT on Rockcrusher 60s and 40"s last year. They are a cool platform, although Jeep has missed the boat by not doing a 2 door.

The wheels are 20”. It’s fine for Texas weather lol .

It's all about what works for you, as I tell my co-workers "it's not my truck and it's not my money".

I wouldn't have guessed 20 though, those are tame for Fuel wheels and show like an 18 in the picture. Good looking rig regardless.

Definitely approve of the color.

Sorry for the derail, Did you watch the RC Sparks videos when they were doing the "mining", made the kid in me grin ear to ear the first time I saw it. Might be like crawling and I think it looks kind of meh but try it and next thing I know I'm running a brushhog on an RC tractor to mow my lawn.

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, the RC Sparks mining vids were really cool. Looked like a load of fun for sure.

Only way to live without making yourself crazy. I seek opinions and don't care if they are positive or negative. Sometimes they may even change my mind about something. I'm never out for approval though. My wife is the only one I ever need or want that from.

Been a while but I remember it. I've watched some of the big events on youtube too. It looks like something that would be the most fun with several people to run equipment at the same time.

Question number two. You dont plan on shoveling stuff in it do you? I know they make front end loaders.

Nice truck you got. Amazing ride some larger wheels can make. My old work truck had 20s XDs with Nitto trail grappler 33s. Turned that 6.4 diesel into a beast.

 

[yachtnutz]

No I’ll end up buy the front end loader eventually . At least that’s what wife thinking I’ll do

 

[WickedFog]

Can you even buy that earth mover anymore? As far as I can tell it's discontinued.
